Be it known that I, FREDERIK LEOHLER. of Cleveland, in the county of Cuyahoga and State of Ohio, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Ohristniz-is-Tree Candle- Holders, of which the following is a specification.

My invention consists of a device for holding candles on Christmas-trees; and. it consists of aolainp for attaching it toa branch or limb, and having a. spring of peculiar construction, which serves to press the leaves of the clamp and also hold the candle. This device is capable of being attached to aliinh or branch in any position, either horizontal or nearly perpendicular.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective viewof my device as seen attached to a limb. Fig. 2 is aside elevation. Fig. 3 is a vertical section. Fig. 4 is a detached View of the spring and candieholder.

A A are the two leaves of the clamp. These may be made in the form shown, or other form whichtaste may dictate. Said leaves are provided with cars a a near the middle of their sides, through which a pintle, 1), passes, forming the joint.

0 is a coil-spring embracing said pintle, and

spring and candle-holder are made of one piece of wire, and serve both purposes-that of pressing the clamp and holding the candle. This makes a cheap and simple device for the purpose of attaching candles to the branches of Christmas-trees in any desired position.

Havingdescrihed inyinvention, Iclain1-- The COll'lblllfiIllOll of the coiled-wire spring and candle-holder G and the leaves A A and pinlle b, substantially as and for the purpose specified.

FREDERIK LEGHLER.
